Hailed as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature in 2011, it is home to a large population of Komodo dragons. These creatures roam the Komodo National Park freely, giving visitors the chance to get a close (but not too close!) look at one of the world`s largest and most deadly lizards. But Komodo Island is about much more than just the dragons. With turquoise waters, rugged volcanic landscapes, and an overwhelming sense of raw nature, Komodo is the ideal destination for hiking, diving, and just getting away from the beat of modern life.
